PADI 5 Star IDC Resort
Uncle Chang's Sipadan Mabul Dive Lodge is based in Mabul Island and is a PADI 5 Star Instructor Development Dive Resort and we boast a secondary location in Semporna that has a swimming pool, accommodation and a full dive setup for easy transition from learning in the mainland to the island.
Over the year we have transitioned from a simple Backpackers Divers' Lodge to a premium resort that offers excellent daily scuba diving and snorkeling trips.
We teach a full range of PADI courses from beginner PADI Open Water courses right up to PADI Divemaster programs and the PADI Instructor Development Course (IDC) and everything in between. We also run our own technical dive courses, freediving programs, mermaid programs and have our own conservation branch dedicated to helping the local people and protecting the marine life.
Our PADI Dive Centre is headed by our very own in-house PADI Course Director Roihan who oversees all diver training and ensures that safety and customer satisfaction is our priority.
